Cape of Good Hope Riebeeksrivier Syrah - Anthonij Rupert Wyne

In the glass, the Cape of Good Hope Riebeeksrivier Syrah from Anthonij Rupert Wyne reveals a dense, purple-red color. When slightly tilted, the wine glass shows a charming garnet-red hue at the rim. After some time in the glass, this red wine from South Africa presents wonderfully expressive aromas of blackcurrant, plum, and blackberry, rounded off by additional fruity nuances contributed by maturation in wooden barrels.

On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully silky. The finish of this matured red wine from the Western Cape wine-growing region impresses with a remarkable length. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral notes derived from the slate- and clay-dominated soils.
